PROVISIONAL 2008 RESULTS - KEY STAGES 3, 4 AND 5
|
|
A summary report showing provisional 2008 results at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 for your school is available in the "My School" area of the Norfolk Schools website. To access it, go to KeyData, scroll down and click on the "MoreInfo…" button which is on the right hand side of the page in the Attainment and Achievement area.
These provisional figures will be shared locally in "KeyData" and "Improving Performance Step by Step" (IPSS) from 1st November. The school's Data Manager has been given the opportunity to inform us of any confirmed amendments and we are currently making those adjustments to our database. Although KS3 reviews will not be finalised until 31st December 2008, and results will not be published until March 2009, provisional results will be shared on the Norfolk Schools' website. Where a whole dataset is missing, we can if requested, use Teacher Assessment figures for the time being.

NEW FFT ANALYSIS TO SUPPORT SELF-EVALUATION |
|
A revised "FFT Analysis to Support Self-Evaluation" report is available in the "My School" area of the Norfolk Schools website. It can be accessed either using the direct link in KeyData, or via the "MoreInfo..." area (described above).
In this revised version you will find:
|
|
|
|
KS3 and KS4 data has been recalculated by Fischer Family Trust (FFT) to be more accurate, so you may find some minor changes to your 2007 CVA figures. |
|
|
|
KS3 2008 data will not be included until the national dataset is made available to FFT by DCSF. |
|
|
|
KS4 2008 is now included. |

NEW FFT ESTIMATES FOR 2010 TO SUPPORT TARGET SETTING - AT SCHOOL LEVEL |
|
New FFT School Estimates reports are available in your FFT database, held by your school's Data Manager, and on the FFTLive website, and copies have been provided in the "MoreInfo…" area accessed from "KeyData" in "My School" on the Norfolk Schools website.
|
|
|
(a) |
The first report for each key stage provides estimates for all indicators, including English and Maths combined (KS3), and two levels progress, and is available broken down by gender and by upper, middle and lower prior attainment groups. There is an additional report for 2011 if needed to support the setting of trajectory targets. |
|
|
(b) |
The second report provides most of the above (but not % Level 6+ at KS3)
and provides estimates for vulnerable groups such as SEN and FSM. There is an additional report for 2011 if needed to support the setting of trajectory targets.
(Please destroy any estimates provided last year, as they have been superseded by these revised and more up-to-date estimates.)

NEW FFT ESTIMATES FOR 2010 TO SUPPORT TARGET SETTING - AT PUPIL LEVEL |
|
While new FFT School Estimates reports are available in your FFT database, held by your school's Data Manager, you are recommended to use the new "Estimate Range" provided for each pupil on the FFTLive website. All Data Managers were offered free hands-on training on this website early in October.
(Please destroy any estimates provided last year, as they have been superseded by these revised and more up-to-date estimates.) |

KEY STAGES 3 AND 4 - TARGET SETTING IN RAISEonline |
|
There is a new facility in RAISEonline to assist you with your target setting if you wish to use it. We haven't offered any training to help you with this because: |
|
|
(a) |
LAs do not have access to the full functionality as it contains pupil names, |
|
|
(b) |
Ofsted's intention is that it is sufficiently user-friendly, with good online help, so that training will not be necessary.
|
|
|
(c) |
If you are using FFT pupil estimates and your own tracking data, you don't have to use the target setting functionality in RAISEonline. You are recommended, however, to check the overall target setting report in RAISEonline.
